“It’s just so weird that someone had to die… in order for me to live.”
Judging by the first trailer, Netflix‘s horror series “Chambers” is going to be pretty messed up, centered on a heart transplant that saves a young girl’s life but plunges her into a whole new kind of nightmare. Sort of like The Eye, the transplant seems to have supernatural consequences for the protagonist, messing with reality and wreaking mind-bending havoc.
Uma Thurman stars in the series, which you can preview below.
“Chambers centers on a young heart attack survivor who becomes consumed by the mystery surrounding the heart that saved her life. However, the closer she gets to uncovering the truth about her donor’s sudden death, the more she starts taking on the characteristics of the deceased — some of which are troublingly sinister.”
Thurman plays Nancy, the mother of the heart donor who forges a hesitant relationship with the young recipient only to find out her daughter may not be as dead as she thought.
“Taking place in a mystic, New Age pocket of Arizona, ‘Chambers’ is a psychological horror story that explores the different ways we metabolize trauma,” series creator Leah Rachel said of the show. “But what starts out as a grounded human story eventually pivots into something far more strange and fucked up than you were expecting.”
The series also stars Tony Goldwyn (Scandal, Insurgent), Sivan Alyra Rose (The Entrada, Running Shadow), Lilliya Reid (Vienna, The Fantomes), Nicholas Galitzine (Share, Handsome Devil, The Watcher In The Woods, The Beat Beneath My Feet and The Changeover), Kyanna Simone Simpson (The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Black Lightning, White Boy Rick & Ma), Lilli Kay (Paterno, Napoli, Brooklyn), Sarah Mezzanotte (The Wolves, Six Degrees of Separation, Blame, Blue Bloods, Royal Pains) and introducing Griffin Powell-Arcand.
Gaghan executive produces Chambers via Super Emotional alongside Rachel and Cooper as well as Wolfgang Hammer and Winnie Kemp via Super Deluxe.
The hour-long supernatural drama streams April 26, 2019.
